BUILDING THE SOIL 
Is Nature’s Soil Builder 
The maintenance of Humus in the soil, or 
the incorporation of it into soils intended for 
lawns, flower gardens, vegetables, the planting 
of shrubs, or trees, is not a matter of choice, 
it is imperative. Without Humus there is no 
bacterial activity and where there is no bacterial 
activity soils are dead! 
Hyper-Humus is gathered from one of Na¬ 
ture’s great store-houses. It is prepared and 
delivered to our customers in the most efficient 
condition for soil building. 
Hyper-Humus in the Garden 
It acts like a sponge, being cap¬ 
able of holding 90% of its 
weight in water, ivhich is 4 to 5 
times the capacity of the ordi¬ 
nary soil. 
RIGHT SOILS 
Due to erosion, faulty cultural practices, the continued 
and excessive use of chemical plant stimulants, with the 
resultant destruction of Humus and annihilation of ben¬ 
eficial soil bacteria, also man’s general mistreatment of 
soils, there are today, so many WRONG SOILS that it is 
impossible to classify them, or to determine the specific 
WHY. 
It is common knowledge that in order to grow maximum 
quantity and quality crops, it is necessary to make soils 
right, mechanically, physically, and in that quality which 
makes for sustained production. 
The way to make wrong soils right is to build soils, by 
incorporating the soil-building and bacteria-encouraging 
materials prescribed by Nature. Of these agents Humus is 
most vital, and of the various types of commercial Humus 
the longest lasting, the most efficient and thus the most 
economic is Hyper-Humus.
